His wife, Mary "Polly" Johnson, was born in 1783, in Wilkes County, Georgia, and died in White Plains, Georgia. (The story is told that she rode side-saddle under a tree hanging with scuppernongs. She stood up on her saddle and picked the fruit, taking it home in her frock to make jelly.)" [12, 13]
